It’s a holiday week in America, and that typically means one thing: fewer new music releases. On Tuesdays I like to give you the rundown of what’s new out there so you can make an informed decision about what to spend your money on. This week sees new records from Easter Island, Chicago’s own Gold Motel, Johnny Hickman, Joshua Hyslop, Mum and Parlovr. Nothing too significant, but I promise you a couple of those records are more than decent. As for today’s Pick Your Poison, might I recommend tracks from Angel Haze, Denver, The Dust Engineers, Jenee Halstead, Tilly & the Wall and The Ugly Club. In the Soundcloud section you might be interested to stream tracks from James Iha and Lavender Diamond.
